Our Story

So much has changed since our inception to now (change this).

The beginning

Windows 95 released. After a time providing leadership and guidance in curriculum design within UK colleges and developing distance learning methods through the use of satellite broadcasting and email, the underlying principles of Award Learning Services were formed. Learning should be accessible through communication technology and be as affective as traditional methods.
